While America’s Navy is the most powerful fleet in the history of the world, sometimes its greatest impact is shared through the lens of a camera. Or the pen of a thoughtful writer. Or the notes of carefully tuned musical instruments. These are some of the ways Navy Officers and Enlisted Sailors use a creative spirit to win hearts and minds. Inspiring fellow personnel and the public with photos, words and music.

Take on an adrenaline-fueled career – backed by world-class training. Picture a machine that reaches speeds far beyond 1,000 mph. One that’s armed and ready for first-strike missions on a moment’s notice. And one that depends 100% on you. That scenario is no exaggeration for those in Naval Aviation. Here you can pilot cutting-edge aircraft.

It doesn’t matter where they are or what their assignment is, America’s Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have not only a right to practice their faith, but also a need to receive moral and spiritual support.

In a highly networked world, modern warfare includes the information domain.

They operate and maintain the most formidable Fleet of nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers on the planet. They pursue the highest degree of intellectual challenges in the nuclear field. They apply nuclear energy and fundamentals of engineering in ways that not only help to defend our national security but also serve to better our world.

In America’s Navy, order and calm are paramount. So when moments of chaos arise, it’s crucial for its highly trained professionals to keep the peace by saving lives, ensuring safety and upholding military law.
